~8 min read 1,472 words

After editing the copy for her Moments, Ma Lan deliberately added a few shy emojis at the end, then opened the location for Tang Chen Yi Pin and clicked send.

As soon as it was sent out, many people liked and commented on it.

The comments were all kinds of praise and fawning, amazed that her mansion was so luxurious.

After all, no one expected that Ma Lan could live in a top-tier villa worth over a hundred million, which simply exceeded everyone who knew her's understanding of her.

At this time, the Xiao family was surrounding a pot of duck racks stewed with cabbage, eating with tears of bitterness.

The old lady herself was tight-fisted with money and was quite dissatisfied with Xiao Changgan and his son and daughter for talking back to her yesterday, so she was also intentionally trying to toss them around.

So, she went out to buy vegetables in the morning, only bought a duck rack, then bought two large cabbages, washed and cut them, and stewed them in a pot.

She felt that anyway, she was old, had a small appetite, and couldn't eat anything too greasy, so she just made this kind of clear soup and light water. As for the three of them, whether they ate or not was up to them.

Xiao Changgan, Xiao Hailong, and Xiao Weiwei were almost at the end of their resources. The three of them couldn't scrape together enough money to eat out, so they could only eat this kind of stuff with the old lady at home.

This duck rack didn't look small, but it was all bones and had almost no meat. The pile of bone dregs in front of Xiao Hailong was already a big pile, but he still hadn't filled his stomach.

Annoyed, he was browsing his Moments while eating.

Suddenly seeing the one Ma Lan posted, he looked closely, instantly gnashing his teeth in anger, threw his chopsticks down, and cursed angrily, "Grass! Ma Lan, this shrew, actually moved into Tang Chen Yi Pin. Damn it, does she deserve to live in Tang Chen Yi Pin?! God is really blind!"

As soon as the old lady heard this, she picked up her phone and took a look, instantly furious!

"This damned dog thing, specifically saying there are ten bedrooms they can't live in, this is intentionally saying it for me to see!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was extremely miserable, secretly cursing in her heart. With so many rooms, they couldn't even give me one to let me move in, and now they were posting it to intentionally stimulate me. Even cutting her into a thousand pieces wouldn't relieve my hatred!

At this time, Xiao Changgan also looked at his Moments. Looking at the mansion photos posted by Ma Lan, then looking at the duck rack stewed with cabbage in front of him, he was so angry he couldn't even eat, directly putting Ma Lan on his blacklist.

Out of sight, out of mind!

Xiao Weiwei also had Ma Lan as a WeChat friend. She took a look and also felt miserable.

Seeing that the three of them were a bit dejected, Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "Don't pay attention to what Ma Lan posted. She won't be able to live in that villa for many days before being kicked out."

As she spoke, she cleared her throat and added, "Our top priority is to think about how to let the Xiao Group get through the difficulties and reappear with vitality!"

Xiao Changgan said sullenly, "Get through what difficulties? There are tens of millions in debt that need to be solved, right? What are we going to use to solve it? This villa is so old; I think it can sell for at most 17 or 18 million, and the remaining hole is still very big."

After finishing, he looked at Old Mrs. Xiao with some complaints and said, "The antiques Dad left behind can at least sell for over ten million, right? If you ask me, Mom, you'd better give me all those antiques. I'll sell them for cash, and then go buy a house. After the bank repossesses this villa, you'll still have a place to live."

Old Mrs. Xiao said with a cold face, "Buy a house? Do you think I can move in if you buy a house? If the debt isn't repaid, I might have to go to jail! I'm already this old; if I go to prison, can I still come out alive?"

Xiao Changgan gathered his courage and said, "Mom, even if the court sentences you to jail one day, with this money, Hailong, Weiwei, and I can at least live a stable life. But if you don't take out these antiques, if you go to prison, the three of us will starve to death outside!"

"Starve to death?" Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly, "You three have hands and feet; even if you go to sweep the streets, you won't starve to death! I'm telling you, Xiao Changgan, the batch of antiques your dad left behind is my life-saving money; don't you dare have any ideas about it!"

Xiao Changgan couldn't suppress his anger anymore, stood up suddenly, and said coldly, "The things Dad left behind are for us descendants. Why do you hold onto them alone?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly, "What? Are you going to rebel? Fine, go ahead and shout at me, go ahead and bare your teeth at me. If I die, none of you will ever know where those antiques are, and you won't get anything!"

As she spoke, the old lady snorted and sneered, "Anyway, I'm just an old woman, I've lived enough. Even if I die now, it doesn't matter. Before I die, I will definitely make a will to donate my life insurance; I won't give you a single cent! The ones who will suffer by then will be you three. You three have no ability and no skills. If the Xiao family falls and I die, even if you don't go to the streets to beg, you will fall to the very bottom of society. Your bitter days are still coming!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changgan immediately shrank back.

He had no way.

He really had no way.

No money and no ability to earn money was the biggest problem for him and his son and daughter. If the old lady really died and the life insurance was donated, he would have no hope at all.

So he could only suppress his anger and say humbly, "Mom, I was just anxious for a moment; don't hold it against me."

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted and said arrogantly, "That's more like it!"

At this time, several bank and court cars suddenly stopped at the entrance of the Xiao family villa.

A large group of law enforcement officers in uniform and several bank managers quickly came to the door and smashed the gate with a bang-bang-bang.

The family was incredibly surprised. Xiao Hailong hurriedly got up to open the door. As soon as he opened it, he was stunned by the scene in front of him!

At this time, a large group of people rushed in, directly directing many security guards to blockade the scene.

Subsequently, a person in charge from the court walked into the villa and said to Old Mrs. Xiao, who was eating, "Are you the person in charge of the Xiao Group?"

Before Old Mrs. Xiao could answer, the other party said righteously, "I am now representing the district court to formally notify you that multiple creditors have jointly applied to the court, requesting to freeze all assets under the name of the Xiao Group and yourself, and to freeze all accounts under the name of the Xiao Group and yourself, forcing you to fulfill your repayment obligations!"

Old Mrs. Xiao blurted out, "I just repaid the bank over a million! The bank manager even told me they could extend the time for me. How did they change their mind in such a short time?!"

The other party said coldly, "The bank considers that you no longer have the ability to make a profit, and dragging it out won't allow you to repay it, so they applied with other creditors to seal all assets under your name. Now we give you one hour to pack your things and move out; this place is going to be sealed!"

"What?!"

Old Mrs. Xiao stood up trembling and blurted out, "Seal all my assets?! Why?!"

The other party said coldly, "Of course, it's because you owe money and don't repay it! In addition, don't blame me for not reminding you. You can only take away daily clothing, toiletries, and ordinary furniture. All cash, luxury goods, and valuables must be left behind!"
